Macabre poster?
« on: December 30, 2017, 12:00:17 PM »
Has anyone seen this poster before? There is no writing credits on it and I’m trying to figure the rarity? It looks like it has art from the antropophagus poster?

Hey Mike,

Doing a quick search, it looks like movieposter.com is offering a copy. They say it's an original movie poster but the dimensions given are 23x29. They are selling it for $14.99

https://www.movieposter.com/poster/MPW-22123/Macabre.html

And here is a repro copy, given with HS dimensions, for $24.99

https://www.classichorrorposters.com/shop/1950s-horror-movie-posters/macabre-1958-movie-poster-half-sheet-style-a/


The above link is saying its is a poster from the 1958 William Castle movie, and not the correct movie, which is the 1980 Italian made flicker, Macabro.

And I see what you mean, too, Mike.

The poster you're asking about is basically the same artwork as here.. more "borrowed/stolen" art?  ;)

What do you think, Mike?

Is the poster a legit, original, in your opinion?

Fingers crossed that it is.  thumbsup.gif

I received the poster. It appears to be on an older paper stock. So I am hoping it is an original! ;D
